Dave Thompson MSP
My Independent Scotland will be a shining beacon in a darkened world, a force for good and a caring community, where all are valued.
I have been very conscious of my Scottishness ever since it was drummed into me in school by a teacher of English who took great delight in rapping my knuckles with a ruler every time my Doric emerged in class.
The Independent Scotland I want will have none of that discrimination and our differences will be celebrated.
Whether we are from the North, South, East or West; Whether our mother tongue is Gaelic, Scots, English or another; Whether we were born here or not - we will all be respected.
That teacher of English did this wee loon a great favour when he taught me to love Scottish justice and decency.
We are a small and diverse nation but our diversity is our strength.
My Independent Scotland will be a shining beacon in a darkened world, a force for good and a caring community, where all are valued.
